A Revolutionary House Torn Down.

The quaint old house in Baltimore
that sheltered Washington and was the
home so many years of Henry Boss, the
old fifer of the Maryland Corps IN the
battle of North Point, was destroyed to
make room for modern house. Hun
dreds of people carried away the old
English bricks and bits of the worm
eaten wood as relics. The house was
TT years old. Washington spent some
time in it, after the Delaware campaign.
Lafayette and his army camped IN the
field, which was opposite the house, and
his soldiers used to come to the house
to buy milk to make syllabub. The
Boss family possess a number of inter
esting revolutionary relics, one being a
piece of Hessian standard taken at
Trenton. The house had around it q
large garden planted in the old style,
with gravel walks hedged in with box.
At one end of the garden near the house
was a tall fagpole, upon which the Am
erican flag was raised every September
by George Boss to commemorate the
battle of North Point.

WHERE GOOSE LIYERS BLOOM.
A Few Days at Buda Pesth Makes
One u Slave to the DeIicacy.

The goose is a bird that, after it is
dead, constantly thrusts itself on the
strangers attention in Austria. It's APP
partition is frequent on the tables and
hotels at Vienna, and it reappears more
frequently as you descend the Danube.
It is the most chosen Wand at Buda
Pesth. Here it achieves its apotheosis.
But it is not so much The bird itself as
to that important organ, its liver, that
l desire to direct attention. The local
commerce in this delicacy is consider
able. On certain streets the attention
of the pedestrians is attracted by the
counterfeit presentment of a goose, dead
and cooked, beside which is a painted
object so nearly like that he is aware it
is the liver of the deceased bird. This
sign indicates a shop whose sole bust
ness is to sell roasted goose cut in pieces,
goose livers, and sort of biscuit made
of chopped goose and flour. Here is a
temptation to those who are fond of Pate
de .t0ie gras. On entering, the dealer is
discovered standing behind a huge tray
filed with Evers arranged in rows, arm
ed with fork resembling Neptune's tri-
dent. He passes the trident mystically
over the livers and names the prices
twenty kruetzers, twenty-five lreutzers,
thirty, forty, fifty kreutzers, the latter
being for giant birds and weighing near
ly pound. You take one of the small
est as a starter, and biscuit, and, adj
journing to neighboring wine shop,
properly adjust you digestive apparatus
to the unctious Wand with ''fourth"
of white Hungarian wine. No bad re-
suit follows, as with the artificially fat
tened ivers that cost their weight in
gold in America. Your digestion con
tinues excellent. What is the effect
The next day you come back and buy
liver twice the size, take two rations of
biscuit, and wash the repast down with
'fhalf' of the same wine, and so on.
As this ratio of increase cannot go on
forever, you find yourself obliged to
leave the town day or two sooner than
you intended, to subdue a growing APP
petite, taking with you in your yalise a
few pounds OF goose hvers to satisfy the
pangs of hunger and solace the regret
of parting, for you know when you have
left the Danube you can see this luxury
no more. San Francisco Chronicle.

Everybody in Dakota knows Wilbur
T. Steel. He was a member of the Leg
islature from Steel county. There is al
incident in Steele's Legislative career
that goes very far to show his character
istic regard for his wife. He has one
fault, however. He takes no stock il
woman suffrage-except when he is
obliged to. On the occasion i'll question
the Woman Suffrage bill was before the
House. Major Picl1ley was champion
ing the cause of the fair sex in eloquent
words when Il call was made for vote,
and the Clerk proceeded to call the roll.
When Steele's name was reached he rose
with the dignity of Demosthenes and
ommenced:
"Mr. Speaker, I am sorry that I can
not support this bill, but
At that moment a well-dressed lady
was seen to bend over the gallery rail.
In loud voice she exclaimed:
"W-i-lbu-r!"
He glanced upward. 1t was enough.
He turned and said:

Test of the 1i0-TOn Gun.

The final proof experiment with the
first of the great guns for Her Majesty S
ship Benbow took place at the Woolwich
Arsenal butts recently. The loading of
the gun, which will be performed on
board ship by hydraulics, had to be car
ried out by hand, and was difficult and
tedious process, but at length the proof
shot, weighing /, 800 pounds, was driven
forward Of the powder chamber, and
eight octagOnal cartridges were packed
in behind it, each weighing 1875 pounds,
or an aggregate of exactly 1,OOOpounds.
The powder was of 81 slow burning de-
scription, technically known as rs. b.
L." Most of the preceding rounds have
been fired with Westphalian brown
powder, and the velocities have varied
with the weight of charge from l 500
feet per second, with a pressure 9.65
tons, to 2,O7S feet with 1877 tons pres
sure. On the gun being fired it was
found that the shot had achieved IN ini-
tial velocity of 2,128 feet per second,
with the remarkably low pressure of 16.1
tons. This velocity IS equal to rate of
over q miles Per minute, or over 1,4OO
miles per hour. 4 second round was
fred with precisely similar results.
